FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!

Ava was weighed today and she's put on more weight! She was 3.78 on Monday and is now, today 4.11kg!! Woot!! My little girl is putting on weight.... she is way past her birth weight now.... yeaahhhaa! That's thanks to combination of feeding on L side only, plus EBM plus formula feeds.

LC came to visit and she helped me to attach on the right side (the painful damaged one that's been healing for 5 days) and it didn't hurt!!!!! Yay. She corrected my attachment (once again) and has advised me to now b/feed 10 mins one side, 10 mins other side and then feed Ava EBM or formula (if not enough EBM) if she wants more. Only 10mins each side because we don't want her to get lazy again if she's on too long.... which was happening before and affecting my supply.
That's the new plan at the moment.
Wish us luck with the next feed!!

Already, I've noticed my milk supply has increased. The GP told me Maxalon can take 2-3 days to kick in, sometimes longer. Guess it varies for everyone huh?! Once I run out of tablets (i have 28) I will go to Motilium if I feel I still need it.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support girls. It means the world.

Georgi - I usually put Ava in front of me and express but sometimes she'll be crying as she wants to be held after her feed.... is this ok for milk supply? lol To see her crying? It sometimes stresses me out so I have to make sure I'm relaxed..... you are a champion for expressing 2hrly. Wish i could! I have been doing 3-4hrly.

I can express R side and get 50ml in 10mins lately. Whereas few days ago I was only getting say 20ml in that time.

Thanks for info on Fenugreek girls. Will check at the health food store tomorrow about it.
